UNISON Biggest Strike - 4 Short Virals Now Live On Youtube, Members Stories & Voices

Tue, 29/11/2011

Four members, four parts of the Public Sector: one struggle: All out on November 30th!

In the build up to the biggest strike in a generation, over public sector pensions, which starts at midnight tonight, the UNISON West Midlands Region, has uploaded to YouTube four very short films (only minutes long).

Tony Rabaiotti, Regional Manager, heading up the pensions dispute in the West Midlands, said:

"These films feature members, some who have not been on strike before. They are saying enough is enough. Many are also suffering from loss of pay, real cuts to their terms and conditions, possible job loss, and are struggling to make ends meet as retail and fuel prices rocket. Their voices reflect on the potential impact of the proposed changes to public sector pensions, to their lives and their families lives, now and in the future."

Each film features members and expresses their views. One film for each of the following four service groups:

  • Local Government
  • Health Service
  • Police Service
  • Higher Education

with additional comments from a local branch representative.

The films are under the umbrella title "Four members, four parts of the Public Sector: one struggle: All out on November 30th!"
